Re evaluate tariffs

To: Sen. Young, Rep. Messmer, Pres. Trump, Sen. Banks

From: A constituent in Leavenworth, IN

April 3

Tarrifs are already impacting jobs in the state of Indiana. It took less than 24 hours! The below plants supply parts to Canada and Mexico. 900 workers at these plants are getting laid off. “The affected US employees work at five different Midwest plants: the Warren Stamping and Sterling Stamping plants in Michigan, as well as the Indiana Transmission Plant, Kokomo Transmission Plant and Kokomo Casting Plant, all in Kokomo, Indiana.” When is Congress going to put a stop to this reckless decision to tax our neighbors. When did we forget that when one of us is strong, we all are strong? The thought process to calculate the individual tariffs based on the trade imbalance was not based in reality. Shouldn’t a reciprocal tariff number be used? Where is the math? This seems as if as little thought was given to this as DOGE’s approach to cutting government workers. No one looked to see who was necessary!
